Toot

Unpopular opinion: the #wicked narrative is #ableist. It's supposedly trying to say "treating people who look different badly is wrong", but uses mythical green skin as the difference, while the only #disabled character is shown with tired tropes of tragedy, pity, unlovability, bitterness and desperation for cures. I dunno if movie will deviate from musicals in part 2.

Abstracting difference into fictional ideas while slotting real-life differences into exclusionary tropes is not inclusive.
